Some technical stuff

In Acrobatic Gymnastics, the gymnasts present collective and individual elements. To master these, they must learn the essential basics.

– Grips

A good grip is the basis for performing a hold in Acrobatic Gymnastics. It makes it possible to carry out a hold safely and in perfect harmony. Grip techniques follow simple principles:

Providing a contact area that is as large as possible

Providing stable and solid support

Grips are carried out using all parts of the body. For example, there is the hand-to-hand grip, the forearm grip, the thigh grip and the foot grip.

– Possible pyramids

There are a number of collective elements, called pyramids, adapted to the level of each individual. These elements require many qualities: body posture, core strength, stability and trust. Below are a few balance elements:

Lunge

Tepee balance
